...video’s and the book’s depiction of Medea’s character In the video, the lighting, diegetic and non-diegetic sounds play a significant role in portraying Medea different.

She defies the prevalent male chauvinism... A comparison of a...

...video, films... 1. What are the three concepts that you have learned in this this semester that have impacted your thinking. Please explain your answer. Make sure that you specifically mention the texts that you are referring to.
The first concept that affected my thinking is Adrienne Rich’s “ethical and intellectual contract between teacher and student” (25) which she addressed in her essay, “Claiming an Education.” Rich argues that students should “claim,” rather than “receive” education (25). I agree with the necessity and meaningfulness of “claiming” education because it compels students to be active, free, and critical-thinking agents of the learning process, not passive recipients of “knowledge.” R...

...Video Review The video is a succinct outline of Charlemagne’s revival of education and culture throughout this kingdom. This revival entailed Charlemagne’s individual exploration of literary skills and military movements within and across the continent. Academic and social reforms were necessary for Charlemagne’s plans for cultural revival through administrative and economic support (Smarthistory 2013). I think the creators and narrators of the video went slightly overboard with several core concepts and ideas. First, reformed and improved literacy across Charlemagne’s kingdom was not a main concern for the clergy only. The bureaucratic...

...video Review Disregarding of what the US ities claim, I dont think that they really want to install the "true" democracy in Iraq, or anywhere else in the Middle East. However, if they do install a democracy, it will be one that’s going to exist on their own terms. United States authorities choose the nominees, and the Iraqi people will be forced to pick from a handily pre-packaged group of puppets. I really dont believe for a second that the Iraqi people will be allowed to vote for whoever they want as their leader. There are many reasons behind my thoughts. The first reason goes like this;

My first thought was that this was going to have a very pessimistic approach to the economy within the United States. Based on history, the economy fluctuates. To truly believe that it will never bounce back is very disheartening both for my own generation but also for future generations.
